Weight of the World (2)

(These are lyrics I wrote for a band I was in. I wrote them for another singer, and I’ll admit they aren’t my best lyrics written...but there is something about them I like. I haven’t submitted anything for a little while now, so I’m casting them out into the ether for anyone that might enjoy them. Admittedly, there are a few very cool lines.

At least, in my opinion. Enjoy)

I don't perceive that the world is in black or white Cus I don't believe the world is free

I can't subscribe to the notion of a-wrong or right Because the cloth wasn't cut for me

I won't pretend to understand the wicked

I can't defend the evils that men do

I haven't got much in common with

The sinners talking

The winners walking

The darkness stalking

And I can't bear the weight of the world

When the world, it won't stop spinning

And I can't share the fate of the fall

When my world, it won't stop spinning

And I can't bear the weight of the world

When the world, it won't stop spinning

And I can't share the fate of the fall

Because it just keeps a-pulling me under

I just want one chance to set something straight One chance to get this off of my mind

I want a piece of the sunshine and happiness

I want a piece of what is rightfully mine

I wanna feel the sun burning at my flesh

I wanna hear the wind a-screaming my name

I want the ground to rumble,

The sky to tumble

All around my feet

I want the earth to crumble

I can't bear the weight of the world

When the world, it won't stop spinning

And I can't share the fate of the fall

When my world, it won't stop spinning

And I can't bear the weight of the world

When the world, it won't stop spinning

And I can't share the fate of the fall

Because it just keeps a-pulling me under

So the fire rages high

The moon beckons to the night

And the world braces for the fight

As the sun begins to fall

The sky opens wide to expose the sins

The universe calls to us all

Just to welcome me in

Like a billion voices singing, softly in the night But the stars don't fall, no the stars won't fall

-Chorus outro
